MR. JOSEPH ROSIER, A. M. Teacher in a village school in Harrison county, superintendent of schools in the Salem public schools, county superintendent in Harrison, teacher in Glenville Normal and in Fairmont Normal, for fifteen years superintendent ol the city schools of Fairmont, and now and for the past five years president o! the Fairmont State Normal School — this is an outline of Joseph Rosier ' s career. But such a statement ignores the years of striving for an education, ol struggling for advancement, of zealous study of men and books, of hard work and success. A steady but gradual advance up the hill, a continuous enrich- ment from year to year, all this explains in part the signal success that has marked President Rosier ' s career. In the five years that Mr. Rosier has been head of the Normal School, the Normal School has advanced rapidly, more rapidly perhaps than at any other period in its history. The splendid new building has been erected and appropriations for a new dormitory have come during this five years. The faculty has been enlarged and improved, the course of study made more modern and progressive, and the normal school idea worked out more perfectly. If at the present time Fairmont Normal stands at the head of the Normal schools of the state as a teacher training institution, it is because Mr. Rosier has wisely guided the school along a predetermined path. Foreseeing and patient, but energetic and progressive, President Rosier has been an ideal guide. Teachers and students alike hold him high in respect, admiration and affection.
